Reflection:

                Clearly the woman in this picture has had many problems in her life and a most recent one. The guy could’ve have told her to move on with her life in several different mean words yet preferred to choose the funny way to tell her. While sending the message he was also cheering her up a bit which is what she needs in the situation. He was confident enough to tell her without being aggressive or get her into tears. This showing a way of communication.
